I think Terry is waiting to use him when the mets are blowing out another team or being blown out. Famiglia may need som low-pressure confience building outings before The team can rely on him. I love the guy and he was nasty in spring training.

We won again tonight, Terry and the team are doing something right. I think we can pinch down the bitchiing and enjoy this good play.

Young pitching will be arriving n june, famglia will hopefully find his control and be a major piece for us.

There must be some 40ish has-been retread waiting on the scrap heap to get lit up that Collins would prefer to a young hard thrower. Someone needs to explain the term "youth movement" to Terry and Sandy.

Does TC think we aren't wearing our super secret Red Rifle decoder rings? Translation: 'I don't trust Jeurys. In fact, the only situation I will pitch him in is if we are up a whole lot, or down a whole lot. And that's only because i don't want to burn a position player as a pitcher'

TC..you do realize that while you have Familia on the 25 man and are waiting for this HIGHLY SPECIALIZED situation to pitch him in, you are burning up Torres and Rice. Torres being your best first arm out of the pen, and Rice being your ONLY lefty.

Pitch him, send him down or DFA him, the choice is yours and Sandy's but this...is ridiculous.

"Nothing wrong"? I guess other than that he's not very good, sure, there's "nothing wrong."

Low K/9, low K/BB, high BB/9, high H/9, high WHIP, high ERA, high FIP - unless the porch light suddenly turns on, there's no point in keeping him on the roster - the numbers over the past few years say that everything is wrong with him.

There is something wrong. He can't throw strikes consistently making him undependable. He should be in the minors refining his mechanics not wasting away in the bullpen where he is not being developed.

@rico The nattering nabobs of negativism have to have something to vent about, and there's slim pickings with the Mets playing well. So they have to grasp the least little thing, in this case the use of a relief pitcher and the bullpen in general.

Preaching patience to this group - I'd have to preach patience to you because your pleas will fall on deaf ears. TC and DW are idiots that don't know a thing about baseball according to these geniuses - if they'd just listen to their suggestions the team would be more successful. Hey, I understand voicing opinions is what a blog is all about, but the absolute surety that posters have in their contrary opinions (e.g. "Worst. Bullpen. Management. Ever.") just boggles the mind. How is someone supposed to take a comment like that seriously? It's not criticism. It's just bald-faced venting and bitching with no basis in reality.

@Joe Wenzel Did you ever see Joe Torre manage a bullpen? Two or three guys overworked until their arms fell off, two or three never getting a chance to pitch. Sure, he had he greatest closer and an unlimited budget, but his bullpen management skills were a disgrace.

@Max Denby I don't typically beat TC up because IMO he has 1 of the top 5 toughest manager jobs in the MLB. But anyone paying any real attention can see that at this pace Torres (especially) and Rice are going to be burnt out by ASB. Meanwhile, he's not using 1 of his 7 RPs available waiting for some fictitious "spot" to pitch him in?
